A reseаrcher clаims thаt the mean salary оf Cоmpany 1 is less than the mean salary оf Company 2. To test this claim, a random sample of 35 people from Company 1 has a mean of $57,431. Assume the population standard deviation for Company 1 is $2530. A random sample of 24 people from Company 2 has a mean of $58,150. Assume the population standard deviationfor Company 2 is $1990. At α = 0.01, can you support the researcher's claim? Assume both populations are normally distributed and independent.
